Voting Analysis 1: Who voted for Germany?

Posted: June 2, 2010 by eurovisiontimes in Analysis, Eurovision Song Contest 2010, Germany

As we all know (I think :) ) Germany is the winner of Eurovision 2010. But who exactly voted for them?

Here you can see all the votes Germany received in video and on a map:

Lena has swept Scandinavia, the Baltics, Spain, Switzerland and Slovakia. But surprisingly she also did very well on the Balkans.

The 12 points from Switzerland had to be expected, as her entry “Satellite” had reached #2 on the Swiss charts earlier.

Again with a representative chosen with the help of Stefan Raab the 12 points from Spain go to Germany. The German diaspora on Mallorca and other parts of Spain might have helped.

Scandinavia just seemed to love her style of music. In Sweden she had already charted at #41. And was in the itunes charts of all Scandinavian countries during Eurovision week.

In the Baltics and Turkey the song was repeatedly played on radios, which certainly helped on the night.

The ten points from Turkey are more than deserved after years and years of German 12 points going to Turkey.

The only countries not having voted for Germany are Moldova, Belarus, Georgia, Armenia and Israel!

It seems like the Caucasus doesn’T like simple, understated performances ;) (Proven by all three participants this year)

Israel giving 0 points to Germany is no big surprise (although Germany had received 12 points from Israel in 1999)

    The German song was played a lot on Turkish radio. I was on holiday in Kos, and we listened to Virgin Radio Turkey. “Satellite” was played several times a day.

    Israel giving zero points to Germany did surprise me. It has a reputation (from a very detailed study of the results over many years) of being one of the best “barometer” countries (always giving high points to the winner).

    Yes Germany has diaspora/cultural voting in Switzerland and Spain. That’s pretty much all, all others points were fair
